Mediation

It is often better to resolve your dispute by mutual agreement than to leave the decision to the courts. Especially in family disputes, where parties are former partners and parents. We often see that communication grinds to a halt in such matters. Emotions, misunderstandings, and distrust start to accumulate. Guidance by a mediator helps diffuse the tensions. Misunderstanding then turns into understanding and distrust turns into trust. This allows for space to discuss the real issues and find a solution openly and with respect for each other’s interests.

Research shows that the following factors strongly determine the success of mediation:

  • Fast resolution: mediation is completed within a few months on average. Sometimes even within weeks or by a conversation of a few hours.
  • Preserving the relationship: during mediation, everyone gets an opportunity to speak out and talk everything out. Afterwards, you can reach a good solution together.
  • Everything will in your own hands: you decide, together with the other person(s) involved, what you agree on and what is put into an agreement. This means that a judge does not determine how the conflict is resolved. You remain in control.
  • Tailor-made: court proceedings focus on the legal aspects of a conflict. During mediation, you try to find a joint solution to everything related to the conflict. Everybody benefits this way.
